The Russian Club of Records considers it the world's longest verdict reading, and is willing to register it, club's vice president Viktor Ovsyannikov said.
The club passes the records it registers to the Guinness Book of World Records on a standing contract.
It takes an application from Khodorkovsky's lawyers or relations to register this particular record, Ovsyannikov said. "The club is also to offer documentary proof. Now, a certificate from the court or hearings minutes will do," he added.
The club expert council considers every eligible instant to enter it on the Russian Book of Records if the councilors find it qualifies. "We shall next apply to the Guinness Book board, and it will decide whether the Khodorkovsky affair deserves to come in," Ovsyannikov said.
At present, the Russian Book of Records has not a single entry concerning the length of verdict reading, though its Crime section is quite long.
Former Yukos CEO Khodorkovsky appeared in the Russian Book on a previous occasion - in last year's issue for a second-largest number of media references, coming after President Vladimir Putin, the club vice president added.
